How to remove ctfmon.exe with Office 2000 SR-1

[jcseely]

I have tried to uninstall ctfmon.exe using the technique described at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282599, but with Office 2000 SR-1, there is
no Alternative User Input option to disable. How do SR-1 users get rid of
ctfmon?

Thanks,

Hi jcseely,

Why would you need to do that? Ctfmon.exe places little demand on your system if Advanced Text Services are not running - and you
can't run them without it.

Because I am running some state of the art games on a non-state-of-the-art
machine. Ctfmon.exe uses up 4mb of RAM which could be used elsewhere, and
having to manually switch it off every time is annoying. In any event, enough
people do it that MS has an entire Knowledge Base page devoted to turning it
off, but the instructions don't work for 2000 SR-1.

" but the instructions don't work for 2000 SR-1"

And the reason is because it cannot be done in Office 2000 with or without SR1. Afaik you have to live with it.
